The purpose of the TOPS is to satisfy the requirements of RAIB recommendation 3, extract provided below: “The intent of this recommendation is to prevent serious accidents due to excessive speed at high risk locations on tramways. These locations are likely to include all locations where a substantial speed reduction is required by trams approaching at relatively high speed…” The purpose of the DVD is to satisfy the requirements of RAIB recommendation 4, extract provided below: “The intent of this recommendation is to reduce the likelihood of serious accidents due to tram drivers becoming inattentive because of fatigue or other effects.
